A couple years ago I had some Cardas Cygnus speaker cables that I bought from a dealer new. I wanted my interconnects to match but wasn't ready to shell out the cash so bought them from Ali. I knew they were fake but thought why not try. Part of the cable upgrade for me is aesthetics. Well, the aesthetics were alright but the sound was NOT. I had modest Audioquest King Cobra IC at the time and the sound got very shrill and lost life. I was impressed that they allowed me to return them for a full refund without any fuss.
How Is This Possible? Must be Counterfeits
I just stumbled upon this website and they have branded products such as Nordost and Audioquest at about 10% of the normal retail. How is this even possible and if they are indeed fakes, how come companies like Nordost do not sue them? Truly puzzling. https://www.aliexpress.us/w/wholesale-nordost.html?spm=a2g0o.detail.search.0
